Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 3001 A mysterious hair
Half an hour later, Cao Yi, Yu Youwei, Fei Haomiao, and the re-called servant, as well as the coroner who specially recorded the symptoms of the corpse, and of course, people from other government offices were also present. On the one hand, it is to prevent the current biggest suspect Cao Yi from destroying the scene of the crime and destroying the evidence. On the other hand, it is also a disguised proof of Cao Yi's innocence that he did not change or destroy the evidence at the scene of the crime.
So Cao Yi is not disgusted by this, and even thinks that the more people present, the better, of course, it is not good to have too many people, and there is also the possibility of accidentally destroying or changing the evidence at the scene if there are too many people, and there is another point, Cao Yi is worried that the mastermind behind the scene who planted the blame on him will also arrange his people in this group of people, if this is the case, then it is really too thoughtful, and it is difficult for Cao Yi to prove his innocence by looking for evidence or finding some clues about the murderer at the scene of the crime.
The man who came over with him was a man in his forties, with dark skin, a resolute face, bright eyes, and a particularly bright name, his name was Zhao Ci, but he looked a little cringe, mainly because he had been engaged in the work of human life for a long time, and the feudal thought in ancient China was extremely serious, so since the time of Yao Shun, he has always been held by untouchables or slaves, who are specifically responsible for inspecting the corpse and reporting the condition of the corpse to the officials, and the one who records the corpse is called the coroner, and the two are separate. I don't want to be like modern forensics, it's a combination of the two.
It is precisely because the work is carried out by low-status untouchables that the descendants of the work are forbidden to participate in the imperial examination, and the industry is often ridiculed and ridiculed, which causes Zhao Ci to be afraid of the timid character, but this cowardice is for the living, not the dead. He has seen more dead people, but he feels that it gives him a greater sense of security than the living.
However, when it comes to China's most famous work, it is none other than Song Ci, who is a native of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, and the "Collection of Grievances" compiled by the "Collection of Grievances" can be said to be the prototype of modern forensic textbooks, the whole book is divided into fifty-three items, and it explains in detail the problems and details that need to be paid attention to when examining a corpse, which is a manual on autopsy and autopsy. In later generations, it was translated into English, French, German, Japanese, Russian and other languages, and it was very popular, and even the TV series "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty" was filmed based on him, but he was a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was not born in this era now, so his "Collection of Grievances" will naturally not have it.
Therefore, Cao Yi was not so convinced of the autopsy methods made in this era, so he specially proposed to take a look at the end of the crime, and maybe he could find some clues that he did not find in the morning.
As for the coroner who came with him, his name is Song He, although his name is the coroner, but he has nothing to do with the real autopsy, and there is no relevant post-mortem knowledge.
"Brother Song, Brother Zhao, trouble the two of you to run again for me, thank you for your hard work!" Cao Yi bowed to the two of them and said respectfully.
"Where and where, it is my honor to be able to do things for Cao Gongzi, Cao Gongzi is the junior brother of Lord Fei, and his status is noble, how can he do such a thing." Song He should usually be the kind of person who can speak well and is good at slapping horses, so the scene at this time is very beautiful.
And Zhao Ci just shook his head at Cao Yi innocently, almost couldn't see that he was laughing, and said softly: "It's not in the way!" And he spoke no more.
"So let's get started!" Cao Yi nodded at the two, and Song He and Zhao Ci hurriedly followed. Because the room on the left is two entrances, the front is the front hall, and the back is the bedroom, so it is much easier to view.
Cao Yi started to look from the front hall, stopped step by step, watched carefully, and did not let go of any place.
"Young Master Cao, the little one outside has been carefully inspected several times in the morning, and there is really nothing to find." Song He saw that Cao Yi was looking so carefully at this time, so he spoke.
Cao Yi stretched out a hand, didn't speak, didn't even turn his head to look at Song He, but Song He consciously closed his mouth, maybe he didn't know much about the autopsy, but in terms of human sophistication and observation of words and colors, he had already practiced perfectly, and when he saw Cao Yi stretching out a hand, he didn't say anything more, and then turned his head to please Fei Haomiao. Usually, he is just a lowly-level official, how can he have the opportunity to be so close to Lord Zhizhou.
He originally thought that Cao Yi was young, but now this incident has happened again, and Cao Yi was very polite when he spoke just now, so he guessed that it should still be very good to "deal with", but he didn't expect that he would turn a blind eye to his overtures just now. But he blamed Cao Yi for this, Cao Yi just completely entered his own "all-round observation" state, hoping that the scene could be quiet, so he directly stretched out his palm to interrupt him, until now, Cao Yi's mind has not returned, maybe he doesn't even remember what he did to who he just did.
Cao Yi looked around carefully, but still didn't find anything, Cao Yi planned to go to the back bedroom to watch after looking at the table, but when he was about to leave to look at the bedroom, he suddenly found a long hair next to the wine bottle placed on the table, the color was slightly yellow, and it seemed to be a little curly.
Cao Yi closed his eyes and recalled the image of Zuo Gao in his memory before, and the expression on his face finally changed slightly, no longer the expression that had not changed much since he came in before.
"Brother Zhao, look at this hair!" Cao Yi turned his head and said to this Zhao Ci, Zhao Ci nodded, he immediately understood the point of Cao Yi's words, pinched his hair with his hands, and then bandaged it in a paper and put it in the bag he carried.
"This ...... What happened to this hair? Did Cao Gongzi make any new discoveries? Song He saw that Cao Yi's face seemed to have improved, and his expression, which had not changed since he started to say it, had changed a little, so he quickly found an opportunity to communicate with Cao Yi more.
Cao Yi turned his head and looked at Song He, but saw that Yu Youwei and Fei Haomiao also had inquiring expressions, so he said softly and slowly: "The color of this hair is a little yellowish, and it also has a hint of curls, which is not the same as Zuo Gaotang's, but only one has been found so far, I took a look, it is neither Brother Zhao's, nor Brother Song's, it seems that we people here do not have this kind of hair, so we are not sure whose hair it is, and I can't know if it has anything to do with the murderer, but at least I didn't notice it before, Let's take a look at it later when we enter the bedroom. ”
Everyone nodded suddenly, it turned out to be the case, and then walked into the bedroom through Cao Yi, as soon as they entered, they smelled a strong smell of blood, Yu Youwei's face instantly became ugly, no way, women are naturally weak in this situation, Cao Yi frowned as soon as he entered before, and naturally knew that Yu Youwei would definitely not be able to stand it, so he turned his head and said to Yu Youwei. "Youwei, or you stay outside, you're in the same room anyway."
Yu Youwei shook her head, and said in a soft but unusually resolute tone: "Childe, it's okay, I can bear it." But as he spoke, his face turned pale.
Cao Yi saw that she insisted, so he had to give up, "Then do you have a champa or a sachet with you, it will be better to cover it between your mouth and nose." ”
Yu Youwei hurriedly did the same when she heard this, and found that she was really a little better, the smell of blood was a little weaker, and the tip of her nose was basically covered by the fragrance, and she followed closely behind Cao Yi step by step.
Cao Yi first looked at the bedroom as a whole, frowned, the whole room was a little messy, and I don't know if Zuo Gaogao's original life was so sloppy or it was turned over later, but it didn't seem to be a trace of a violent fight.
"Brother Zhao, did you find anything in the morning?" Cao Yi turned his head and asked.
Zhao Ci showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "When I came over in the morning, I could only judge that he died from homicide, and the heart was wounded by a sharp blade, and the blood flowed from there to the entire mattress, and from the time of death, it should be the time period from midnight to Shen......"
Yu Youwei had a puzzled look on her face and asked in a low voice, "How did you determine the time of his death?" ”
Zhao Ci hesitated for a moment, and was considering whether to say it, after all, this was a mantra that they had passed down from mouth to mouth. However, before he could say anything, Cao Yi had already taken the lead in speaking: "Meridian Mao You pinched the middle finger, Chen Xu Chou Mo palm Shu, Yin Shen Sihai fist hand, the dead died not badly." That is to say, the person who dies in the meridian will pinch his middle finger, the person who died at the end of the Chenxu Choumo has the palm of the hand in the shape of an open hand, and the person who closes his eyes in the Yin Shen Sihai has his hand clenched into a fist, and then combined with the coagulation of the blood and the color change, it can be ruled out, and the rest is the time period from Yin Shi to Shen Shi. ”
As soon as Cao Yi finished speaking, the others on the scene looked at him with surprised eyes, especially Fei Haomiao and Zhao Ci, Fei Haomiao knew Cao Yi's Bocai from the teacher's letter, and the teacher praised Cao Yi's profound knowledge and comprehensiveness in the letter.
And Zhao Ci was also shocked, no matter how he said it, it was a lowly industry, and he was usually ridiculed and ridiculed, and few people would communicate with them, not to mention that this mantra was only passed down by word of mouth in the industry, and it was basically passed down from father to son, and people who were not in this line would basically not dabble in it, after all, they were dealing with corpses, and they were unlucky......
And I heard it in the morning, this Cao Gongzi is the first genius in Jiangning, and he is also the junior brother of Lord Zhizhou, and now he actually knows the mantra that he only knows, which is really shocking, could it be that this Cao Gongzi's ancestor is also a masterpiece? However, it is absolutely impossible to participate in the scientific expedition as a descendant, so this should not be the case for this Cao Gongzi, as the first talent......
Zhao Ci guessed in his heart, and he also faced Cao Yi squarely in his heart, he thought that this noble son was just because he was involved in his crimes, so he came to take a look at it to rest assured, but he just went through the motions, but he didn't expect that he could really see something.
